(fast-paced music)

00:11.539 --> 00:13.293
- Second Cavalry Regiment soldiers

00:13.293 --> 00:15.976
^teach US Army markmsanship standards

00:15.976 --> 00:19.938
^to Macedonian soldiers at a combined small arms range,

00:19.938 --> 00:22.105
^at Krivolak training area.

00:22.312 --> 00:26.145
^Dragoon Guardian 2017 brings 2 CR to Macedonia

00:26.263 --> 00:29.336
as part of Operation Atlantic Resolve

00:29.336 --> 00:31.539
which seeks to enhance regional stability

00:31.539 --> 00:35.039
and to deter aggression in Eastern Europe.

00:36.116 --> 00:38.279
- Show 'em the US standards on how to qualify

00:38.279 --> 00:41.517
^and zero, and after that, just letting them shoot

00:41.517 --> 00:44.009
^around with the extra rounds we have.

00:44.009 --> 00:45.776
Get them familiar with our weapons.

00:45.776 --> 00:47.671
It helps us understand each other's weapons systems,

00:47.671 --> 00:50.154
especially when we cross train on each other.

00:50.154 --> 00:52.739
It brings familiar also with their culture.

00:52.739 --> 00:54.610
They fed us yesterday and just to get

00:54.610 --> 00:56.806
to know what type of people they are.

00:56.806 --> 00:58.699
- [Announcer] In addition to bilateral training

00:58.699 --> 01:02.083
at the range, engineers from both armies push forward

01:02.083 --> 01:06.250
on plans for an unmanned aerial system landing strip.

01:06.429 --> 01:09.098
Over the course of making the project operational,

01:09.098 --> 01:11.591
both armies have built a strong bond

01:11.591 --> 01:15.758
that further exemplifies their success during the mission.

01:20.235 --> 01:23.154
^- The goal was to validate that we could do

01:23.154 --> 01:25.391
^that our construction guys could do this

01:25.391 --> 01:29.558
^in a short amount of time with our Macedonian partners,

01:30.011 --> 01:31.871
because we may be called upon to do this

01:31.871 --> 01:34.038
in a tactical environment.

01:35.603 --> 01:37.853
(gun fire)

01:38.006 --> 01:39.575
I think that we've formed a strong bond

01:39.575 --> 01:43.157
over these last two missions that we've had.

01:43.157 --> 01:44.757
I look forward to continuing to work

01:44.757 --> 01:47.840
with them in future projects as well.
